Easter Journey
![]() |
The Easter Journey’s aim is for every child to hear about the life of Jesus and the events of Holy Week and Easter and be encouraged to consider, question and explore the key questions: ‘Why was Jesus a King?' and ‘Why did He die?’
Seven churches hosted The Easter Journey in 2018 over 3 weeks in Stevenage, Knebworth & Hertford.
